    Starts today. Should be packed with lots of theatrics and dirty tactics by the Dems.

    I heard on the radio that the Dems were going right after her children. They're accusing them of potentially spreading COVID. Theoretically they might have been exposed to it by Trump at the White House ceremony announcing Barrett's selection.

    Whitehouse then called ACB a “judicial torpedo”

    Justice Roger Taney, famous for the Dred Scott decision, dies.
    Which left Lincoln with a Supreme Court vacancy a month before he was to seek reelection

    Not a good look for Feinstein.

    So much of this crap started with Bork's confirmation hearing.

    Are these hearings just window dressing?

    Are there any Senators who are determining their vote based on what they hear from ACB?

    I highly doubt it.

    A waste of time. That is what the “defense”, as if one is necessary, for not hearing Garland testimony in 2016 should be. Republicans would have been criticized for wasting time had they held hearings then.

    When it comes to Supreme Court hearings yes.

    The Democrats held a personal grudge against Bork for what he did in the Nixon era.

    The ONLY reason there would be any doubt on a Senator's vote is if they are up for reelection and how things stand in their state

    The Dems (Schumer) have already decided not to give Barrett a quorum, which I read is 51 in the full Senate and 9 in the committee with 2 members of the minority party voting. They'll have to wiggle around that rule in the committee. They can change their rules or there are other tactics they can use. Dems just making it as hard as possible.

    I read that ACB had COVID earlier this year and recovered. Dems want her tested. She refused. White House says she is tested daily and got a negative result on Oct. 2.

    Dems are trotting out all these obese people who need obamacare to manage their diabetes. Because they didn't know being obese was a danger to their health:brickwall:

    Trump has said repeatedly he will cover existing conditions.

    For someone who was pronounced near death last week by the media because she contracted covid, she doesn't look sick. No coughing or catching breath.

    Just like 99.99 % of her age group she caught it, got over it, went on with life.

    Meanwhile, on CNN they're covering Biden's outdoor rally in Toledo. Not a single person is there from what I can tell. No applause or anything.

    Seriously? They would confirm her on a ventilator. I do like the nickname Amy Covid Barrett

    The Dem's are using a wholly poor strategy. They should simply refuse to participate and let it happen. To me, it's better for Trump to have a 5-3 court with one hanging in the balance and it would benefit Biden to have the Dem's pissed about it and the Republicans relaxing and not as motivated to vote. Am I wrong?

    Dude, the number of people catching Covid from her ceremony is astounding. It's funny. I think she may be a great selection. Nothing against her personally.

    The number of people catching Covid. Okay. Do you have a non CNN/MSNBC link showing how many people caught it and have been stricken ill?

    Where is the feminist crowd rebuking a nickname like that of a successful woman?
